Considering the whole calvary vs tanks thing was made up by Nazi propaganda to "show the world" how Poles were subhumans too stupid to even know what a tank is, It's not that far stretched to imagine such ridiculous propaganda being made the other way around lmao Also as for calvary in WW2, they were EXTREMELY effective on the eastern front as polish eastern border was covered by marshes and shit - unaccesable for tanks and motorised infantry, and actual infantry would be extremely slow and uneffective there, while calvary would swoop through there like nothing. I honestly believe Polish army, if fighting ONLY Stalin, would be able to hold or even push pretty easily.

In the Polish-Soviet war there was a cavalry battle where Poland was outnumbered 3,000 to 20,000 in favor of the Soviet Konarmia, but the sun was behind the Poles so the Soviet leadership wasn't aware of their numerical superiority. During this battle, a lone Cossack named Kuzma Kruchkov stepped forward and challenged anyone brave enough to a sword duel. Then, Colonel Raciecki of the Polish cavalry stepped forward and agreed to the duel. Kruchkov galloped towards him, and after Raciecki parried his attack, he slashed through Kruchkov's body, winning him the fight. The entire Soviet army was shocked, and in the hysteria that followed the Konarmia retreated.

[@FeedbackGaming]

[@starhalv2427]

You mean the battle of Komarów? That wasn't remotely how it went, you were only right about the numbers of troops and the fact that Poland won, XD Soviets didn't retreat after 2 soldiers fought in a duel, they retreated after being near completely surrounded and risking a complete defeat. The position of the sun also didn't remotely change the outcome of the battle, as it was a series of skirmishes and bigger engagements in all kinds of places. And that duel you described was definitely NOT witnessed by everybody and definnitly was NOT what routed the Russians. It was a combination of Soviet disorganisation, extended skirmishes and charges whenever Poland pleased while Soviets managed pretty much only a single one, and a FULL ENCIRCLEMENT of Soviet horse army by Polish infantry with machineguns, which Budyonny somehow managed to break. And since Budyonny both led a charge and broke the encirclement, I guess he actually wasn't blinded by the sun for the full 3 DAYS that battle lasted. Sorry, I tried to be civil, but it's just unacceptable to spread myths about historical battles. Especially since it was such a great victory for my nation.

[@starhalv2427]

Perhaps it was a small engagement that was a part of the battle, that was decided by the sun and that duel. But not the entire battle, have mercy!

"Is it meant to work this way." Technically yes, yes it does. The fact that cavalry and infantry bonuses stack implies that those are dragoons ie infantry that fights dismounted, but moves on horses. They can carry much more machineguns, mortars, AT rifles and eventually rocket launchers with them before dismounting then normal infantry. Or even use pack/horse drawn/carriage mounted artillery.
